Short Description
Discovered early this century, Grignard reagents remain the most widely-used organometallic compounds. Recent years have seen a steady stream of developments in such areas as the nature of the reagents, the mechanisms by which they react, useful reaction chemistry, and even new types of Grignard reagents. This book presents contributed chapters from leaders in the field, each focusing on one interesting aspect of Grignard reagents and their chemistry. It is an essential reference to cutting-edge research for any chemist working with Grignard reagents.
The Grignard reagent is one of the most useful and versatile reagents known to the organic chemist and 100 years after its discovery, this book presents authoritative perspectives on the significant developments taking place using Grignard Reagents and related organomagnesium compounds.
This volume focuses on a dozen areas of organomagnesium chemistry, including:
* New reactions of Grignard Reagents
* Stereoselective Reactions of Organomagnesium Compounds
* Mechanistic Features of Organomagnesium Compounds
* Industrial Applications and Strategy
* Unusual Organomagnesium Compounds
* Structures of Organomagnesium Solids and Solutions
The book will prove of great interest to academic and industrial chemists active in organometallic chemistry of main group metals, organic syntheses, reaction mechanisms and structural organic chemistry.
